One knock out realization will hit them hardly. Once their loved ones start to talk to them with sense, that's one way to wake them up.
And when they have nothing left anymore and they have noticed that, that's going to hit them very badly, critically.

Because ultimately the best way for someone to realise that the importance of self-control in gambling is to lose so that when they have felt a loss then surely they will try to reorganise and think about the actions that they have finally done as a form of evaluation.

I say this because I have experienced a point where I lost quite a large amount of money in terms of nominal which was a turning point for me to be more mature than before. Although it cannot be denied that until now I still gamble but as much as possible I try to focus more on myself so that I don't get stuck in the same way as before which makes me lose quite a lot and I always limit and try not to cross the limit when I have lost the nominal amount that I have agreed with myself every week.

Yes, usually like that, what I mean is that people will usually be able to experience change when they have experienced something bad that makes them realize that they have been treating gambling in the wrong way and thinking, but of course it also depends on the person, simply if for example they always find it difficult to evaluate then awareness will never arise in their minds and that is the reason why many people find it difficult to recover from addiction.

Basically, everyone will never like losing money, so before you make a decision, make sure that you really understand what and how the consequences are, such as the risks in gambling which will always be part of the game, and this is the reason why we are always advised to only gamble with a little money, none other than to avoid bad possibilities such as losing large amounts of money, remember that besides you can win but you are also very likely to lose.
